I just bought a camera recently and I LOVE it - I keep taking pictures of everything and everyone. I especially like taking pictures of people that I meet - not only does it help me remember them, but if anyone flicks through my photo albums it will also create an impression of me having many friends which is a DHV.

What would be a good routine to play with a camera? I'm thinking of something more memorable than simply saying "Want to have a picture taken with me?" - is there any way to spice it up a little bit and make the process more exciting? Maybe use it as an opportunity for some kino, even.

Hope to hear some replies.

i personally love camera routines, they give you a chance to show off your personality and in a dark place when flashes go off everyone around you looks to see whats going on, instant social proof.

when i'm being photographed i always strike a pose, never just stand there and smile, and usually take a few pictures at a time. one of my favorites is to kiss her on the cheek for the picture, then point to my cheek and say "another one" and take one where she's kissing me, then neg by saying something like "wow thanks for the slobber" while brushing my cheek off.

i'm in the t-shirt business so i keep a couple pictures of designs i'm working on in my camera and will ask a group if they could give me some input on my ideas. they'll just click through some designs, say they look good, then keep clicking through my other pictures. try to keep some funny ones that have a story behind it, or interesting places you've been, etc. it's great DHV when you've got a picture of you and your buddies from that time in vegas, or at a fancy restaurant for your friend's engagement party, stuff like that.

Photo routines are the best!

One of my favorites is to just randomly grab two babes under each arm and say "smile!" and have a friend take the photo - followed by "Cheers ladies, im sending this to my mother as a christmas card" *wink* and a big smile. On to any routine from here and your gold!
